| Roland TD-20S V-Pro Series Drum Kit |
With the V-Pro Series
TD-20S, Roland improves upon the industry-standard V-Drums by starting from
the ground up. At the heart of this flagship set is the TD-20 module with new
sounds and functions, superb expressiveness and in-depth V-Editing. The patented
mesh pads now feature great dynamic range and natural rim shot triggering, along
with a new look and stunning black finish. The TD-20S also features Rolands
amazing new V-Hi-Hat and a new drum stand designed to hide the cabling. With
this powerful new combination of pads and hardware, the V-Pro Series TD-20S
lets drummers express themselves more naturally and with more realism than ever
before.
An Entirely New V-Drums Experience
Without a doubt, the new TD-20 is Rolands best percussion sound module
ever, offering the ultimate sonic quality, over 500 new sounds, plus superb
expressiveness and dynamic range when used with the new PD-125/105 V-Pads and
VH-12 V-Hi-Hat. With the superior sensitivity, drummers can play more naturally
and without having to adjust their playing technique. The TD-20 includes the
ability to vary the rim shot and bass drum sounds depending on how you play,
plus new interval control for better snare drum rolls and more realistic cymbal
swells. Close your eyes. Listen to every articulation and sound being faithfully
re-created until the moment your cymbal fades away, and youll swear this
is a real acoustic set.
More Powerful V-Editing
The TD-20 gives drummers even greater modeling power using Rolands latest
COSM technology. Vastly expanded for unlimited expression, the TD-20s
V-Editing starts from careful analysis of an entirely new set of drum sounds.
The result captures every nuance of the real thingincluding every moment
of drum vibration and complete customization capabilities. For example, drummers
can now select from several types of kick beaters including felt, wood and plastic.
The cymbal size can also be changed, along with the type of sizzle
(i.e. rivets or chain), and the microphone position. The TD-20 even lets drummers
add realistic snare drum buzz (the resonance created on the toms
and bass drum) that matches the type of snare drum selected. Its the subtle
nuances like these that really make the difference during performance and recording.
Enhanced Performance Features
Whether used live or in the studio, the TD-20 offers a host of powerful features
designed to make life easy. Eight group faders are provided for adjusting the
relative levels of each part (snare, kick, hi-hat, etc.), while 15 individual
compressors and EQs let you sculpt each sound to perfection. The TD-20 also
includes a 5-part sequencer loaded with preset backing patterns and plenty of
room for your ownplus onboard Ambience effects, a stellar multi-effects
processor and more. A new Mastering Room lets you add compression and EQ on
the overall sound, while 10 analog outputs and a S/DPIF digital output give
drummers plenty of options when mixing live or in the studio.
Convenient CompactFlash Storage and More
New to the TD-20 is a CompactFlash slot, which can be used for storing custom
drum kits and sequencer patterns with optional memory cards. An expansion bay
located on the underside means theres room for upgrades down the road.
The TD-20 also features Rolands V-LINK technology. Using an optional video
editor from Edirol, drummers can trigger images or change cameras from the pads
or kick.
The First Electronic Hi-Hat Designed Like an Acoustic
Woah! Thats what youll say once you try the new full motion VH-12
V-Hi-Hat. This breakthrough electronic hi-hat is designed to precisely model
the look and feel of its acoustic counterpart
so much so, that it mounts
on any acoustic hi-hat stand! The new V-Hi-Hat uses top and bottom cymbals with
full motion capability for ultra-natural stick/pedal work, and is designed to
work with the enhanced dynamics of the TD-20. The dual-trigger VH-12 can convincingly
create a range of hi-hat sounds from open to closed including the half-open
position with all of its delicate nuances. By applying pressure to the pedal
(even after closing), you can vary the pitch and decay for playing fast and
tight articulationsjust like an acoustic hi-hat!
Presenting the New and Improved V-Pads
How do you improve upon the worlds most popular electronic percussion
pads? Start by designing a brand new sensor mechanism for more accurate triggering,
and then give em a cool black finish! The 12-inch PD-125 and 10-inch PD-105
mesh V-Pads both feature Rolands latest dual-triggering technology, resulting
in more even and accurate sensing between the head and rim. They are also the
first V-Pads with rim shot capabilities on the tomsincluding the actual
rim click sound. Rim triggering on toms requires TD-20 Percussion
Sound Module.
Natural Triggering with Double Pedal Support
The TD-20S includes Rolands time-tested KD-120 V-Kick, but now in a new
black color designed to perfectly complement the rest of the pads. The 12
V-Kick pad offers fast, natural kick drum triggering and is compatible with
double bass pedals.
Ergonomic Design and Striking Looks
Rolands new MDS-20 Drum Stand offers a new curved look that keeps everything
within reach. The stands black color matches perfectly with the new pads
and cymbals, and all cabling is hidden neatly inside the tubing you asked
for it, you got it. Even the hardware itself has been improved via more durable
T-fittings with a convenient raked design. Changing the height is quick and
easy: Vertical adjustments with quick-release cam levers are provided on each
of the stands legs and the two cymbal stands, allowing the tiers to remain
in place.
